About Reflection form Shiny Surfaces

When a surface is shiny we can see a reflection on the surface.
A mirror is a shiny piece of metal that reflects all of the light that hits it and allows us to see an image.
Mirrors are said to be reflective.
If a surface is dull you cannot see an image and it is not called reflective, but it still reflects the light.
